Ensure the slide or negative film is clean and dust-free before scanning. My computer does not recognize the scanner. Ensure the USB cable is firmly plugged into the scanner and PC. Ensure the scanner is powering on when you connect it to a computer. Some of my slides/ negatives look overexposed. Manually adjust the exposure value (see page 12).
